XP: Jogging stroller recs?

JENandJEH

We recently moved and in the process, our stroller was damaged.  It was the Kolcraft Contours 3 wheel, so not a jogger, but I'd like to replaced the broken one with a jogger. 

 

I tried posting this on the 12-24 month board but got totally ignored, so I thought I'd try here!   

 

Anyone have any recommendations?  I'm debating on whether or not I want to do something like a Phil & Ted's or BOB so that I can get the doubles kit or if I just want to get a more inexpensive jogger for now. 

 

What do you love/hate about your jogger?  Thanks!

 

 

ETA: I'd also like something that folds easily and will fit in the trunk of a Nissan Altima.

I love our Baby Jogger. It folds better than our midsize stroller (and handles better too.) We got ours in 2006 and have had zero problems. I think Baby Jogger now has the Summit 360 that is their jogger.

Also, I've heard nothing but good things about the BOB.

We have a Baby Jogger too.  Dh is the one who uses it and he likes it.  I will say if you are going to do a lot of walking with it too you may not want a stationary wheel, but if you are mostly going to run then that would be what you want.

I love love love my Bob Revolution.  It is fantastic.  The only thing that I don't like about it is that it doesn't "lock" into place when it is folded - so it can be a little cumbersome sometimes.

BOB revolution.  I love everything about it. The only thing I don't like? That I didn't buy it when DD was an infant; we bought it when she was 18 months.

It is worth every single penny. DH and I are serious penny pinchers, which is the only reason we waited. And even DH, who can be a total tightwad, agreed we should have bought it sooner.

I have a Jetta and it folds up fine for my trunk.

Check out REI. Join their co-op for a one-time fee and get a 20% off coupon for any full price item. And if you ship it to your local REI, free shipping.

EDIT: oh, and the resale value is phenominal. If you list it on craigslist, it will be gone w/in a few hours of the posting for about 60-70% of the retail. Trust me, I tried getting one on craigslist and it is impossible!

I have a Mountain Buggy (I have the Double)--the thing pushes like a dream.  It's heavy but awesome.  It's pricey but maybe you can find it on sale somewhere like I did.
